"Because one of the things I've heard the most from, repeatedly, in the five years I've been a trustee and increasingly in the last two years, since the pandemic and since we've been back in school, is that parents and teachers are really concerned about the use of mobile devices: cellphones, smartphones, in schools by students, and its interruption to learning and its impact that it's having in the classroom," she said.
